We rode through to Catoctin Furnaces
over the NJ. V. r. r. for the first time on
Monday last. The survey was an eXceIi'''
one, there are few curves and three IL
s,rct hes of straight track. The grades n"-
where exceed 80 feet TO the mile and tAc
work in preparing the roadbed was except
ionally light throughout. The frost CAM
before it was possible to line up and ballast
the track and when this is done, it will be a
model piece of road. The tonnage over the
road will be very heavy from Catocln Fur
naces alone and when terminal facilities are

probably beyond LewiStown. The opening
of spring will find the NJ. V. X. r. i'll our
